Rolling with the homies (your toys)!

You can now roll all the way over from your back to your tummy and your tummy to your back. I'm so amazed by every little thing you do every day. You play with toys and have started to hug stuffed animals. You look at the world like you just can't get enough and like you're taking in everything you see.

You had your first virus this week-BOO!! But it gave me more time with you and I'm so happy for that. I love you Noah!

Baptized and rolling eeover all in one day!

Dear Noah,

You were baptized today. It was a beautiful ceremony with Fr. Kevin. Although, I do have to say that the best part was when the prayer for exorcism was done and you had the loudest, smelliest poop at the end of the prayer. I guess you got out all the demons.

You've been working on rolling over for weeks now. You were just moving to your side until this afternoon when we got home from the baptism and you rolled to your tummy. It happened so fast, I'm so glad I didn't miss it.

Every day you seem to reach a new milestone. You "talk" so much now and you have more and more coos every day. You grab for toys and put things in your mouth. I'm amazed by you and I love you more than I could have ever known I could love. God bless you on your baptism today Baby Noah. I love you.

You got your feets!

Today you bent yourself over while I was holding you sitting up in my lap and grabbed your foot and put it in your mouth. It was super adorable. Love you!

Learning how to grab!

Dear Noah,

On November 1st, you learned how to grab stuff! Today you learned how to grab things and put them in your mouth. So amazing. You love the pinwheel grandma got you and you love when I read to you. You can make the pinwheel spin and you can crunch the petals. You're sitting here laughing and cooing at me right now. I am so amazed by you and everything you are learning every day. You also like when I play with your feet and sing to you (There's a bunny on your pants and he's doing a dance, there are giraffes on your feet and they're kind of neat, there's a bird on your belly and he's kind of smelly). Love you so much!!

Getting so big!

Noah, you're getting so big so fast! You're almost 11 weeks old! You've outgrown your bassinet, so we're hoping that the new travel lite crib we ordered for you last night works better so you can stay in our room with us a bit longer. You're also in size 2 diapers now! You outgrew your 1s overnight it seems. You laugh and smile so easily now. You love your vibrating zebra, your Octopus, and when we sing bad versions of George Clinton's "We've got the funk." You also love to watch the lights on your rainforest gym. At your last appointment, you were 12 lbs 3 oz and 24.5 inches long. Grandma and grandpa are now watching you 3 days a week and you love it. I hate it because it means less time with you. But I get to look forward to seeing your smiling face and that gets me through my work days. You also love your bath now and have learned how to splash. You've learned how to grab onto things and now smile and get distracted when your nursing. I love when you look right up at me when I'm feeding you. You are the most beautiful thing and have the most gorgeous blue eyes. Even though I know it's not the best pattern to get into, one of my favorite things to do with you is cuddle and sleep at night. I love watching your little face and I love how you hug me back in your sleep. I also love our cuddle time as a family on weekend mornings. Your daddy and I love you very much!

My smily boy

Noah, you smile more and more every day. You have all sorts of little cooing sounds you're making and you clearly know who your mommy and daddy are now. You also have so many different facial expressions. I'm amazed at how much you can do already and you're still so little. Today you started randomly hitting the toys on your play mat. During tummy time, you tend to fall asleep as soon as we put you on your tummy. You are the cutest thing around. You're starting to fit more into your 3-6 month clothes. Some of your onsies and footie pajamas are too small on you now. I'm loving watching you grow and change every day.

My little cooer

You are cooing up a storm now and smiling so big sometimes. You like when I make a fool of myself when I change your diaper. I usually end up singing something silly and dancing and you can't get enough of it. You look like your laughing and have started to squeak a little when you are super happy, like you are learning how. It's amazing to me how much we've gotten to know each other in the past month too. You totally know I'm your mommy and every day we get into a better rhythm with each other.

Today we went and met Daddy at Qdoba and then I took you shopping. You are so good and slept the whole time. Neither one of us can stop staring at you, kissing you, and hugging you. I don't know how I'm ever going to get anything done, ever again.
